Municipalities are already facing completely different complexities within their societies. In order to keep up with this rapid pace of change, and to guarantee the well-functioning of their cities, municipalities must improve their approach on how to utilise their resources and engage with new technologies. Recent technological developments have changed and reshaped the functioning scheme of different service sectors, including the energy markets. CityxChange is situated in the process of this transition and aims at providing new evidence-based and replicable solutions in the urban environment. 

Funding: H2020
